Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is widely used as a marker of pancreatic cancer tumor burden and response to therapy. Synthesis of CA19-9 and its circulating levels are determined by variants encoding the fucosyltransferases, FUT2 and FUT3. Individuals can be grouped into one of four functional FUT groups (FUT3-null, FUT-low, FUT-intermediate, FUT-high), each with its own CA19-9 reference range based on its predicted capacity to produce CA19-9. The authors hypothesized that a FUT variant-based CA19-9 tumor marker gene test could improve the prognostic performance of CA19-9. METHODS Preoperative and pre-treatment CA19-9 levels were measured, and FUT variants were determined in 449 patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at Johns Hopkins Hospital between 2010 and 2020, including 270 patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy. Factors associated with recurrence-free and overall survival were determined in Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Higher preoperative CA19-9 levels were associated with recurrence and mortality for patients in the higher-FUT groups (FUT-intermediate, FUT-high for mortality, with adjustment for other prognostic factors; hazard ratio [HR], 1.34 and 1.58, respectively; P < 0.001), but not for those in the lower-FUT groups (FUT3-null, FUT-low). As a tumor marker, CA19-9 levels of 100 U/ml or lower after neoadjuvant therapy and normalization of CA19-9 based on FUT group were more sensitive but less specific predictors of evidence for a major pathologic response to therapy (little/no residual tumor) and of early recurrence (within 6 months). CONCLUSION Among patients undergoing pancreatic cancer resection, a CA19-9 tumor marker gene test modestly improved the prognostic performance of CA19-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate re-evaluation after neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is important for optimal treatment selection. Nonetheless, determining the operative eligibility of patients with a modest radiologic response remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of biologic factors for patients showing a modest radiologic response to NAT and investigate the tumor markers (TMs), CA19-9 alone, DUPAN-II alone, and their combination, to create an index that combines these sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs associated with treatment outcomes. METHODS This study enrolled patients deemed to have a "stable disease" by RECIST classification with slight progression (tumor size increase rate, ≤20%) as their radiologic response after NAT. A sialyl-Lewis-related index (sLe index), calculated by adding one fourth of the serum DUPAN-II value to the CA19-9 value, was created. The prognostic significances of CA19-9, DUPAN-II, and the sLe index were assessed in relation to postoperative outcomes. RESULTS An sLe index lower than the cutoff value (45.25) was significantly associated with favorable disease-free survival. Moreover, the post-NAT sLe index had a higher area under the curve value for recurrence within 24 months than the post-NAT levels of CA19-9 or DUPAN-II alone. Multivariable analysis showed that a post-NAT sLe index higher than 45.25 was the single independent predictive factor for recurrence within 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Additional evaluation of biologic factors can potentially enhance patient selection, particularly for patients showing a limited radiologic response to NAT. The authors' index is a simple indicator for the biologic evaluation of multiple combined sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs and may offer a better predictive significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CA19-9 is a tumor marker for gastrointestinal and biliary-pancreatic adenocarcinomas; however, its association with thyroid cancer is unknown. Here, we report a case of CA19-9 producing locally advanced papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old woman who was identified with a thyroid tumor after a close examination of an elevated serum CA19-9 level, which was detected at health screening, was referred to our hospital. Ultrasonography revealed a 34 × 31 mm hypoechoic lesion in the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe. Computed tomography revealed a solid thyroid tumor with tracheal invasion without any distant metastases. Bronchoscopy revealed tumor exposure into the tracheal lumen on the left side of the trachea. Fine-needle aspiration cytology led to a diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The patient underwent a total thyroidectomy, tracheal sleeve resection with end-to-end anastomosis, and lymph node dissection in the left cervical and superior mediastinal regions (D3c) with a reversed T-shaped upper sternotomy down to the third intercostal level. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of PTC with tracheal invasion and no lymph node metastases (pT4a Ex2 N0). Immunohistochemical staining showed the expression of CA19-9 in cancer cells. Postoperatively, the serum CA19-9 level of the patient decreased to within the normal range. CONCLUSIONS Some PTCs produce CA19-9, although less frequently. When elevated serum CA19-9 levels are observed, PTC should be included in the differential diagnosis for further investigation.

Abstract
Background Recurrence following radical resection in patients with stage IB gastric cancer (GC) is not uncommon. However, whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the risk of recurrence in stage IB GC remains contentious. Methods We collected data on 2110 consecutive patients with pathologic stage IB (T1N1M0 or T2N0M0) GC who were admitted to 8 hospitals in China from 2009 to 2018. The survival of patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy was compared with that of postoperative observation patients using propensity score matching (PSM). Two survival prediction models were constructed to estimate the predicted net survival gain attributable to adjuvant chemotherapy. Findings Of the 2110 patients, 1344 received adjuvant chemotherapy and 766 received postoperative observation. Following the 1-to-1 matching, PSM yielded 637 matched pairs. Among matched pairs, adjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with improved survival compared with postoperative observation (OS: hazard ratio [HR], 0.72; 95% CI, 0.52-1.00; DFS: HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.64-1.29). Interestingly, in the subgroup analysis, reduced mortality after adjuvant chemotherapy was observed in the subgroups with elevated serum CA19-9 (HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.08-0.57; P = 0.001 for multiplicative interaction), positive lymphovascular invasion (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.17-0.62; P < 0.001 for multiplicative interaction), or positive lymph nodes (HR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.07-0.38; P < 0.001 for multiplicative interaction). The survival prediction models mainly based on variables associated with chemotherapy benefits in the subgroup analysis demonstrated good calibration and discrimination, with relatively high C-indexes. The C-indexes for OS were 0.74 for patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and 0.70 for patients treated with postoperative observation. Two nomograms were built from the models that can calculate individualized estimates of expected net survival gain attributable to adjuvant chemotherapy. Interpretation In this cohort study, pathologic stage IB alone was not associated with survival benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy compared with postoperative observation in patients with early-stage GC. High-risk clinicopathologic features should be considered simultaneously when evaluating patients with stage IB GC for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Postoperative CA19-9 elevation after pancreatic cancer resection suggests recurrence but can also occur in benign conditions. This study aimed to investigate the interpretation of postoperative CA19-9 elevation after pancreatic cancer surgery in terms of cancer recurrence. A cohort of patients undergoing pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer at our hospital was included. Among them, 52 patients exhibited postoperative CA19-9 elevation without radiological evidence of recurrence. These patients were evaluated with follow-up CA19-9 measurements. The CA19-9 increase rates were calculated based on the first elevation and the follow-up measurement. The association between the CA19-9 increase rate and tumor recurrence was assessed. Patients with a CA19-9 increase rate of ≥ 30% had a significantly higher frequency of recurrence within 3 months compared to those without such an increase (p = 0.0002). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a CA19-9 increase rate of ≥ 30% was an independent risk factor for recurrence (odds ratio 8.17, p = 0.0309). The CA19-9 value at the first elevation (p = 0.1794) and at the follow-up measurement (p = 0.1121) were not associated with recurrence. After the first postoperative CA19-9 elevation, the CA19-9 increase rate based on follow-up measurements can serve as a predictive factor for tumor recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Five-year survival in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is less than 20%. While previous studies have postulated that a carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) threshold could predict outcome of resection, the role for CA19-9 in decision-making remains unclear. This study aims to assess whether CA19-9 levels combined with tumor size improve prediction of post-resection survival. METHOD A retrospective analysis was conducted on 109 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent perioperative chemotherapy followed by resection. The primary outcome of mortality was, divided into short (<1 year) or prolonged (>2 years). Univariate and multivariable analyses compared the tumor size-adjusted CA19-9 between the outcome groups. RESULTS Twenty-seven (24.78%) and eighty-two (75.23%) patients were in the short survival and prolonged-survival groups, respectively. The mean CA19-9 was significantly greater in the short vs prolonged group (P < .001). Analyzing CA19-9 level by tumor size, the association of high CA19-9 and short survival was significant for small (≤2 cm) and large tumor (>4 cm), but not for intermediate-size tumors (2-4 cm). Adjusting for preoperative variable did not change this association. CONCLUSION CA 19-9 in combination with tumor size better identifies patients with prolonged post-resection survival. This prediction is most accurate in patients with either small (≤2 cms) or large (>4 cms) tumors compared to intermediate-size tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM This study examined the clinical significance of very high preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels in patients with early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of patients who underwent curative resection for primary CRC (c-Stage I-III) between 2004 and 2022 in our facility. The patients were classified into three groups according to the preoperative CA19-9 level: normal (≤37.0 U/ml), high (>37.0 to ≤100.0 U/ml), and very high (>100.0 U/ml). RESULTS Of 971 patients, 885 (91.1%), 67 (6.9%), and 19 (2.0%) had normal, high, and very high CA19-9 levels, respectively. Overall survival (very high vs. normal: p<0.0001, very high vs. high: p=0.01) and recurrence-free survival (very high vs. normal: p<0.0001, very high vs. high: p=0.18) were significantly worse in the very high group. On multivariate analysis including TNM stage, very high preoperative CA19-9 levels were independently associated with worse overall (odds ratio=4.54; 95% confidence interval=2.03-10.16; p=0.0002) and recurrence-free survival (odds ratio=3.49; 95% confidence interval=1.82-6.69; p=0.0002). CONCLUSION High preoperative CA19-9 levels were associated with poor survival in early-stage CRC. Careful intraoperative observation and close follow-up might be necessary.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains associated with poor outcomes with a 5-year survival of 12% across all stages of the disease. These poor outcomes are driven by a delay in diagnosis and an early propensity for systemic dissemination of the disease. Recently, aggressive surgical approaches involving complex vascular resections and reconstructions have become more common, thus allowing more locally advanced tumors to be resected. Unfortunately, however, even after the completion of surgery and systemic therapy, approximately 40% of patients experience early recurrence of disease. To determine resectability, many institutions utilize anatomical staging systems based on the presence and extent of vascular involvement of major abdominal vessels around the pancreas. However, these classification systems are based on anatomical considerations only and do not factor in the burden of systemic disease. By integrating the biological criteria, we possibly could avoid futile resections often associated with significant morbidity. Especially patients with anatomically resectable disease who have a heavy burden of radiologically undetected systemic disease most likely do not derive a survival benefit from resection. On the contrary, we could offer complex resections to those who have locally advanced or oligometastatic disease but have favorable systemic biology and are most likely to benefit from resection. This review summarizes the current literature on defining anatomical and biological resectability in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the great heterogeneity of gastric cancer (GC), the prognosis of patients within a stage is very different. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the high risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis and take appropriate therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis of patients. In this study, we aimed to explore the prognostic significance of preoperative and postoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19 - 9 (CA19-9) and carbohydrate antigen 72 - 4 (CA72-4) in patients with stage I, II and III GC who underwent radical gastrectomy. METHODS A total of 580 patients who underwent curative surgical resection and had not received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were included in this study. The relationship between clinicopathological features and recurrence was analysed. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier curve. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine prognostic factors in GC patients. RESULTS Among patients with stage III GC, the recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with CA19-9>35 U/mL were significantly lower than those with CA19-9 ≤ 35 U/mL; CA19-9 was always a significant independent marker. CEA and CA72-4 were sometime useful to predict RFS or OS alternatively in the pre- or postoperative period. The only other independent significant factors for prognosis in our study were lymph node metastases for RFS and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for OS. CONCLUSION Preoperative and postoperative CA19-9 values are independent risk factors for predicting prognosis in stage III GC after curative gastrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most fatal malignancies. Delayed manifestation of symptoms and lack of specific diagnostic markers lead patients being diagnosed with PDAC at advanced stages. This study aimed to develop a circular RNA (circRNA)-based biomarker panel to facilitate noninvasive and early detection of PDAC. METHODS A systematic genome-wide discovery of circRNAs overexpressed in patients with PDAC was conducted. Subsequently, validation of the candidate markers in the primary tumors from patients with PDAC was performed, followed by their translation into a plasma-based liquid biopsy assay by analyzing 2 independent clinical cohorts of patients with PDAC and nondisease controls. The performance of the circRNA panel was assessed in conjunction with the plasma levels of cancer antigen 19-9 for the early detection of PDAC. RESULTS Initially, a panel of 10 circRNA candidates was identified during the discovery phase. Subsequently, the panel was reduced to 5 circRNAs in the liquid biopsy-based assay, which robustly identified patients with PDAC and distinguished between early-stage (stage I/II) and late-stage (stage III/IV) disease. The areas under the curve of this diagnostic panel for the detection of early-stage PDAC were 0.83 and 0.81 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Moreover, when this panel was combined with cancer antigen 19-9 levels, the diagnostic performance for identifying patients with PDAC improved remarkably (area under the curve, 0.94) for patients in the validation cohort. Furthermore, the circRNA panel could also efficiently identify patients with PDAC (area under the curve, 0.85) who were otherwise deemed clinically cancer antigen 19-9-negative (<37 U/mL). CONCLUSIONS A circRNA-based biomarker panel with a robust noninvasive diagnostic potential for identifying patients with early-stage PDAC was developed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The intensity of adjuvant treatment for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) has not been stratified according to the risk after resection. This study was designed to identify patients with PDACs in whom the current S-1 adjuvant treatment is ineffective. METHODS This single-center, retrospective study included patients who underwent pancreatectomy for PDACs from 2009 to 2020 at Sendai Open Hospital and were receiving S-1 adjuvant treatment. The independent risk factors for recurrence and survival were determined by using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. The effects of S-1 adjuvant treatment and detailed patterns of recurrence were evaluated in patients with high-risk factors. RESULTS Overall, 118 patients with PDAC received S-1 adjuvant treatment. Postoperative nonnormalized carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) was a predictive risk factor for recurrence (p < 0.010; hazard ratio [HR], 3.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.26-6.62) and survival (p = 0.008; HR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.24-4.11) after S-1 adjuvant treatment. In 24 patients with nonnormalized postoperative CA19-9, S-1 monotherapy was ineffective in preventing recurrence, even during the treatment period, compared with that noted in patients who did not receive adjuvant treatment. The recurrence rate during adjuvant treatment was 41.7%; in all cases, recurrence was caused by distant metastasis. The total recurrence rate was up to 95.8%, and distant recurrence was especially frequent. CONCLUSIONS The current S-1 adjuvant treatment regimen is ineffective for patients with postoperative nonnormalized CA19-9. The postoperative CA19-9 level may be a good indicator for further aggressive treatment. This study may lead to further discussions on intensity stratification of adjuvant treatments for PDAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct and validate a multi-dimensional model based on multiple machine leaning algorithms to predict PCLM using multi-parameter magnetic resonance (MRI) sequences with clinical and imaging parameters. METHODS A total of 148 PDAC retrospectively examined patients were classified as metastatic or non-metastatic based on results at 3 months after surgery. The radiomics features of the primary tumor were extracted from T2WI images, followed by dimension reduction. Then, multiple machine learning methods were used to construct models. Independent predictors were also screened using multifactor logistic regression and a nomogram was constructed in combination with the radiomics model. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the accuracy and reliability of the nomogram. RESULTS The diagnostic efficacy of the radiomics model in the training and test set was 0.822 and 0.803, sensitivity was 0.742 and 0.692, and specificity was 0.792 and 0.875, respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of the nomogram in the training and test set was 0.866 and 0.832. CONCLUSION A radiomics nomogram based on machine learning improved the accuracy of predicting PCLM and may be useful for early preoperative diagnosis.

Abstract
AIM To assess the usefulness of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as a biomarker for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), using serum samples and clinical parameters of patients with SSc. METHODS Patients with SSc admitted to Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital between 2010 and 2021 and those who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) were included. Patients were diagnosed with ILD based on chest CT findings, and SSc-ILD was categorized as either a limited or extensive disease based on chest CT and pulmonary function test findings. Serum CA19-9 levels were measured in 56 patients with SSc and in 32 healthy individuals. Additionally, we evaluated the difference in serum CA19-9 levels between the groups, the correlation with ILD area and pulmonary function, and discriminative performance to diagnose extensive ILD. RESULTS Of the 56 patients with SSc, 40 (71.4%) had ILD, and 17 (30.4%) were classified as having extensive disease. Serum CA19-9 levels were significantly elevated in patients with extensive disease compared to those with limited disease (median [interquartile range]: 25.7 U/mL [10.1-50.8] vs. 8.8 U/mL [4.5-17.6], p = .02) and correlated with ILD area (r = .30, p = .02). There was no significant correlation between serum CA19-9 level and pulmonary function. The cutoff of CA19-9 for the diagnosis of the extensive disease was determined to be 19.8 U/mL, with a sensitivity of 64% and specificity of 82% and an area under the curve of 0.74 (95% confidence interval 0.58-0.90). CONCLUSION The serum CA19-9 level may be a useful marker for identifying patients with SSc-ILD with extensive disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CA19-9 is elevated in pancreatic cancer and other malignancies, and commonly used in clinical practice. Unfortunately, CA19-9 immunoassays are not harmonized, and reference intervals may differ between assays. The aim of this study was to establish the reference interval of the ADVIA Centaur/Atellica IM CA19-9 assay in an apparently healthy Singapore adult population. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. De-identified data from Health Screening participants were extracted from our database. Subjects with biochemical results suggesting anaemia, diabetes mellitus, viral hepatitis or abnormal liver, and renal and tumour markers were excluded. Outlier and subclass analyses by age and sex were performed. CA19-9 reference limits and 90% confidence intervals were then determined for candidate subclasses. RESULTS Data from 12,174 subjects (5846 males and 6328 females) were available after exclusion criteria were applied. CA19-9 results did not follow a normal distribution and were higher in females compared to males (P < .001). Although CA19-9 means were statistically different between certain age groups, the evaluable 99th percentile reference limits were not statistically different. The overall 99th percentile reference limits for the Centaur/Atellica CA19-9 assay was 37 U/mL for males 21-80 years, and 60 U/mL for females 21-80 years. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that separate CA19-9 reference intervals should be applied for males and females.

Abstract
Evaluating the levels of the biomarker carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is crucial in early cancer diagnosis and prognosis assessment. In this study, an antifouling electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the label-free detection of CA19-9, in which bovine serum albumin (BSA) and graphene were cross-linked with the aid of glutaraldehyde to form a 3D conductive porous network on the surface of an electrode. The electrochemical immunosensor was characterized through the use of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), UV spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The level of CA19-9 was determined through the use of label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The electron transfer at the interface of the electrode was well preserved in human serum samples, demonstrating that this electrochemical immunosensor has excellent antifouling performance. CA19-9 could be detected in a wide range from 13.5 U/mL to 1000 U/mL, with a detection limit of 13.5 U/mL in human serum samples. This immunosensor also exhibited good selectivity and stability. The detection results of this immunosensor were further validated and compared using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All the results confirmed that this immunosensor has a good sensing performance in terms of CA19-9, suggesting its promising application prospects in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the prognostic significance of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) dynamics for stage II colon cancer patients undergoing radical resection. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 1517 stage II colon cancer patients admitted to the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2011 to December 2016. To observe the relationship between tumor markers dynamic monitoring and survival, we calculated cut-off values for ΔCEA and ΔCA19-9. Group according to the cut-off values and compare the differences in survival between subgroups. RESULTS Preoperative CA199 (HR = 3.122), postoperative CEA (HR = 2.941) and histological type (HR = 2.855) were independent prognostic factors in multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. The 5-year overall survival (OS) in the patients with normal preoperative CEA and CA19-9 was significantly better than the patients with elevated preoperative CEA or CA19-9 and the patients with elevated preoperative CEA and CA19-9 (92.6 % vs. 87.6 % vs. 81.0 %, P < 0.05). 469 patients with normal pre- and post-operative CEA had the highest 5-year OS (93.5 %, P < 0.05). Among the 177 patients with elevated pre- and post-operative CEA, the 5-year OS rate was only 81.8 % (P < 0.05). The cut-off values for Δ CEA and Δ CA19-9 in stage II colon cancer patients with elevated preoperative tumor markers were 2.625 ng/ml and 7.835 U/ml, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that Δ CEA≥2.625 ng/ml and Δ CA19-9≥7.835 U/mL were associated with better outcome (87.8 % vs. 79.6 %, P < 0.05; 85.8 % vs. 79.1 %, P > 0.05). At the same time, we found that adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved 5-year OS in patients with elevated preoperative CEA or CA19-9 (91.0 % vs. 80.9 % and 89.6 % vs. 80.2 %, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Persistent postoperative elevation of CEA/CA19-9 is associated with a poor prognosis. CEA and CA19-9 may be high-risk factors for postoperative adjuvant therapy in stage II colon cancer patients. For stage II colon cancer patients with elevated preoperative CEA, patients with Δ CEA<2.625 ng/ml have poor survival and can improve prognosis by receiving adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and histological grade can serve as indicators of the biological characteristics of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the combined impact of preoperative CA19-9 levels and histological grade on prognosis and classification accuracy in PDAC patients. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 612 patients with PDAC who underwent curative pancreatectomy, and a biological risk model based on preoperative CA19-9 levels and histology grade was established. The prognostic importance of the biological risk model was evaluated, and its validity was confirmed through a validation cohort of 218 patients. The survival of patients with PDAC was independently associated with preoperative CA19-9 levels and histology grade, indicating a biological risk. This biological risk was incorporated into the eighth edition of the TNM staging system, leading to the development of a modified TNM (mTNM) staging system. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves demonstrated that the mTNM staging system had a significantly larger area under the curve (AUC) than the TNM staging system. The discriminatory capacity of the mTNM staging system was further validated in an independent cohort. CONCLUSION Biological risk based on preoperative CA19-9 and histological grade could predict the survival of patients with PDAC. The incorporation of biological risk into the TNM staging system has the potential to enhance the accuracy of patient classification in PDAC, predicting patient survival and enabling the development of individualized treatment plans.

Abstract
An 80-year-old man with jaundice and fatigue was referred to our hospital. A laboratory examination revealed increased levels of hepatobiliary enzymes, and CA19-9 levels increased to 29,512 U/mL. Based on the findings of imaging examination and laboratory data, the patient was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis. The possibility of malignancy could not be ruled out because of the high levels of CA19-9. Antibiotic administration was commenced, and the common bile duct stone was endoscopically removed. One month after treatment, the CA19-9 level decreased to within the normal range. One year after treatment, imaging examinations did not reveal any malignancy.

Abstract
Prediction of prognosis after radical resection of gastric cancer has not been well established. Therefore, we aimed to establish a prognostic model based on a new score system of patients with gastric cancer. A total of 1235 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy at our hospital from October 2015 to April 2017 were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to screen for prognostic risk factors. Construction of the nomogram was based on Cox proportional hazard regression models. The construction of the new score models was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), calibration curve, and decision curve. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size, T, N, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA125, and CA19-9 were independent prognostic factors. The new score model had a greater AUC (The area under the ROC curve) than other systems, and the C-index of the nomogram was highly reliable for evaluating the survival of patients with gastric cancer. Based on the tumor markers and other clinical indicators, we developed a precise model to predict the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical surgery. This score system can be helpful to both surgeons and patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) has one of the lowest survival rates among all major types of cancer. Consequently, it is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Serum biomarkers historically correlate well with the early prognosis of post-surgical complications of PC. However, attempts to identify an effective biomarker panel for the successful prognosis of PC were almost non-existent in the current literature. The current study investigated the roles of various serum biomarkers including carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL-8), procalcitonin (PCT), and other relevant clinical data for identifying PC progression, classified into sepsis, recurrence, and other post-surgical complications, among PC patients. The most relevant biochemical and clinical markers for PC prognosis were identified using a random-forest-powered feature elimination method. Using this informative biomarker panel, the selected machine-learning (ML) classification models demonstrated highly accurate results for classifying PC patients into three complication groups on independent test data. The superiority of the combined biomarker panel (Max AUC-ROC = 100%) was further established over using CA19-9 features exclusively (Max AUC-ROC = 75%) for the task of classifying PC progression. This novel study demonstrates the effectiveness of the combined biomarker panel in successfully diagnosing PC progression and other relevant complications among Egyptian PC survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the clinical implication of Duke pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DUPAN-2) for patients with pancreatic cancer (PC), especially those with normal carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels. METHODS The study reviewed 224 patients who underwent surgery for PC from January 2003 through December 2019 at the Shizuoka Cancer Center. The patients were divided into three groups according to the following CA19-9 and DUPAN-2 levels: normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2, normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2, and high CA19-9. The prognostic utility of the DUPAN-2 levels in the normal CA19-9 patients was investigated. RESULTS Elevated serum levels of DUPAN-2 were observed in 29 (25.2%) of the normal CA19-9 patients. The cutoff value for serum DUPAN-2 level was set at 250 U/ml. Both disease-free survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) in the normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 group were significantly shorter than in the normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2 group and comparable with those in the high CA19-9 group. In the normal CA19-9 group, DUPAN-2 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for DSS. The patients with normal CA19-9/high DUPAN-2 had higher pathologic malignancy than the patients with normal CA19-9/normal DUPAN-2, which was comparable with that in the patients with high CA19-9. CONCLUSION In PC, DUPAN-2 may be useful as a biomarker complementary with CA19-9. The combination of these two markers may aid in the preoperative prediction of prognosis for patients with PC.

Abstract
The occurrence of markedly accelerated tumor growth during immunotherapy is considered a new mode of progression called hyperprogressive disease (HPD) and its impact on pancreatic cancer (PC) patients receiving immunotherapy is unknown. In this study, we described and explored the incidence, prognosis and predictors of HPD in patients with advanced PC treated with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors. We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological data from 104 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who were treated with PD-1 inhibitors at our institution during 2015-2020 and identified 10 (9.6%) patients with HPD. Overall survival (OS) was significantly poorer in patients with HPD compared to patients with progressive disease (PD) (median OS: 5.6 vs. 3.6 months, p < .01). Clinicopathological factors associated with the occurrence of HPD included smoking, metastatic sites >2, liver metastasis, antibiotic therapy within 21 days before immunotherapy (Abx B21), hemoglobin (Hb) level <110 g/L, and PD-1 inhibitor treatment line >2. Subgroup analysis showed that high levels of CA19-9 at baseline were associated with the development of subsequent HPD (p = .024) and a worse prognosis (mOS:16.2 months vs. 6.1 months, p < .01). Our study demonstrated that HPD may occur in PC patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors and is associated with several clinicopathological characteristics and poor prognosis. The baseline tumor marker CA19-9 may be one of the early predictors of HPD development in PC patients receiving immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal cancer with a dismal prognosis mainly due to diagnosis at advanced stage and ineffective treatments. CA19-9 levels and computed tomography (CT) imaging are the main standard criteria for evaluating disease progression and treatment response. In this study we explored liquid biopsy-based epigenetic biomarkers for prognosis and monitoring disease in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC). METHODS Plasma samples were collected from 44 mPDAC patients at the time of diagnosis, and in 15 of them, additional samples were obtained during follow-up of the disease. After cell-free DNA (cfDNA), isolation circulating levels of methylated NPTX2, SPARC, BMP3, SFRP1 and TFPI2 genes were measured using digital droplet PCR (ddPCR). BEAMing technique was performed for quantitation of RAS mutations in cfDNA, and CA19-9 was measured using standard techniques. RESULTS NPTX2 was the most highly and frequently methylated gene in cfDNA samples from mPDAC patients. Higher circulating NPTX2 methylation levels at diagnosis were associated with poor prognosis and efficiently stratified patients for prediction of overall survival (6.06% cut-off, p = 0.0067). Dynamics of circulating NPTX2 methylation levels correlated with disease progression and response to therapy and predicted better than CA19-9 the evolution of disease in mPDAC patients. Remarkably, in many cases the disease progression detected by CT scan was anticipated by an increase in circulating NPTX2 methylation levels. CONCLUSIONS Our study supports circulating NPTX2 methylation levels as a promising liquid biopsy-based clinical tool for non-invasive prognosis, monitoring disease evolution and response to treatment in mPDAC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a well-known laboratory biomarker. In spite of high concentration and the possible biomedical importance of estimating GGT in human seminal plasma (hSP), it has not been widely explored in reproductive physiology. This study aimed to complement existing data on its diversity, previously obtained on seminal extracellular vesicles, by analyzing matched soluble fraction of hSP. The GGT-associated patterns of selected glycoproteins were analyzed in order to establish an adjunct referent parameter for differentiation between known high molecular mass forms of GGT. Getting insight into distinct GGT-associated glycoprotein patterns should contribute to define them together as possible multimarkers. METHODS GGT forms in soluble, membrane-free-fraction isolated form hSP of normozoospermic men were analyzed using gel filtration and lectin blotting using WGA (wheat germ agglutinin) and Con A (concanavalin A). RESULTS Widely distributed GGT (with two to three partially resolved peaks), which may correspond to high molecular mass aggregates, were detected. GGT-associated patterns of selected glycoproteins (at position of big, medium, and small-GGT) all comprised high molecular mass WGA-reactive smears, but differed in the presence of Con A-reactive glycans, as well as mucin-associated antigens CA19-9 and CA125. CONCLUSIONS GGT contributes to several molecular patterns that differ between the soluble and extracellular vesicle fractions of hSP. Their glycobiochemical heterogeneity is due to difference in the presence of distinct sialylated and mannosylated glycans. Moreover, GGT-associated glycoprotein patterns differentiate between high molecular mass forms of GGT in the soluble fraction of hSP. They hold promise as possible targets for increasing biomarker potential of GGT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High serum CA19-9 is usually caused by pancreaticobiliary malignancies, but it has also been found in a tiny minority of calculous cholecystitis patients. AIMS To clarify the relationship between calculous cholecystitis and serum CA19-9. METHODS Clinical data of calculous cholecystitis patients with high serum CA19-9 (high group, n = 20) and normal serum CA19-9 (normal group, n = 40) who underwent cholecystectomy were analyzed. Serum CA19-9 of high group were followed-up and gallbladder specimens were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Serum CA19-9 in the high group ranged from 105 to 1635 U/ml, of which 30% exceeded 1000 U/ml. Follow-up results showed that 20 patient's serum CA19-9 returned to normal after cholecystectomy, including 4 closely followed-up patients whose serum CA19-9 recovered within one month. Immunohistochemical results revealed that CA19-9 was mildly positive only in mucosal epithelial cells in the normal group, but positive in mucosal epithelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, and intercellular substances in the high group, accounting for high serum CA19-9. CONCLUSION Serum CA19-9 is proved to be associated with calculous cholecystitis for the first time, so that clinicians should consider calculous cholecystitis associated CA19-9 elevation in the clinic practice besides other CA19-9 related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer refractory to first-line chemotherapy (CTx) have few treatment options. It is unclear what kind of patients could be brought about survival benefit by 2nd-line CTx after refractory to gemcitabine + nab-PTX (GnP) or FOLFIRINOX. METHODS This analysis was conducted as part of a multicenter retrospective study of GnP or FOLFIRINOX in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Excluding censored cases, 156 and 77 patients, respectively, received second-line chemotherapy (CTx) and best supportive care (BSC). Using prognostic factors for post-discontinuation survivals (PDSs) at the first-line determination in multivariate analysis, we developed a scoring system to demonstrate the benefit of second-line CTx. RESULTS The second-line CTx group had a median PDS of 5.2 months, whereas the BSC group had a median PDS of 2.7 months (hazard ratio 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31-0.57; p < 0.01). According to the Cox regression model, serum albumin levels below 3.5 g/dL, and CA19-9 levels above 1000 U/mL were independent prognostic factors (p < 0.01). Serum albumin (≥ and < 3.5 g/dL allotted to scores 0 and 1) and CA19-9 (< and ≥ 1000 U/mL allotted to scores 0 and 1) at first-line determination were used to develop the scoring system. The PDSs of patients with scores of 0 and 1 were significantly better than those of the BSC group; however, there was no significant difference between the PDSs of patients with score 2 and the BSC group. CONCLUSION The survival advantage of second-line CTx, was observed in patients with scores of 0 and 1 but not in those with score 2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CA19-9 is strongly expressed in malignant tumors of the digestive system and is widely used as a marker for gastrointestinal cancer. In this report, we describe a case of acute cholecystitis in which CA19-9 was markedly elevated. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis after being referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of fever and right hypochondrial pain. CA19-9 was abnormally high at 17,539.1 U/ml. Although the possibility of malignancy was considered, there was no obvious malignant lesion on imaging; the patient was diagnosed with cholecystitis, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed the day after admission. The surgical specimen showed no malignant findings either grossly or in the final pathological examination. There were no complications in the patient's postoperative course, and he was discharged from the hospital on the third postoperative day. CA19-9 level quickly returned to within normal range after surgery. CONCLUSIONS In acute cholecystitis, CA19-9 levels exceeding 10,000 U/ml are very rare. We report a case of acute cholecystitis without malignant findings despite a high CA19-9 level.

Abstract
In this study, a novel split-type electrochemical immunosensor based on controlled release strategy was proposed for sensitive analysis and detection of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA19-9). Specifically, glucose (Glu) was encapsulated in carrier mesoporous silica (MSN) with encapsulation technology, and surface functionalized Zinc sulfide (ZnS) caps were used as "gatekeepers". The complex is formed by encapsulating Glu within MSN with ZnS (ZnS@MSN-Glu) as a signal amplifier labeled on the signal antibody (Ab2). And the Ab2 can detect the presence of antibodies. To reduce the interference of biological analysis, the immune recognition process of ZnS@MSN-Glu-Ab2 bioconjugate and antigen was carried out in 96-well microplate, which did not interfere with the electrochemical analysis process. Therefore, the low sensitivity detection caused by biofouling of nanomaterials and immunoreaction on the testing platform is eliminated. Subsequently, the opening and timed release of mesopores were controlled by external stimuli, the disulfide bond cleavage by dithiothreitol (DTT), and glucose was effectively released. Then nickel cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) were directly hydrothermally grown on carbon cloth (CC) electrodeposited with copper selenide (CuSe) nanosheets to construct three-dimensional (3D) cactus-like NiCo-LDH/CuSe/CC sensing platform. It can realize the catalytic oxidation of released glucose, triggering glucose-mediated signal amplification. The synergistic effect of the 3D cactus structure and active nanomaterials promotes electron conduction. Taking the detection of carbohydrate antigen CA19-9 as an example, the immunosensor shows a wide linear concentration range (0.001-100 U/mL) with the limit of detection of 0.0005 U/mL, realizing highly sensitive detection of CA19-9. This biosensing technique has considerable advantages and provides an innovative approach for trace detection of other biomarkers.

Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities are well-known risk factors for many cancers, even though no clearly established link with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) has yet been investigated. This research aimed to assess the serum levels of leptin, chromogranin A (CgA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in patients with PanNENs and to search for associations between PanNENs, these selected serum biomarkers, and metabolic abnormalities in the form of metabolic syndrome (MS). Second, we aimed to investigate whether MS increases the risk of PanNENs. The serum concentrations of biomarkers, metabolic parameters (glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides), and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, BMI) were assessed in 106 patients with PanNENs and 40 healthy volunteers. Patients with PanNENs showed higher serum concentrations of CA19-9, CEA, and CgA in comparison to controls (p < 0.001, p = 0.042, and p = 0.025, respectively). Statistically significant differences in CEA levels were found in PanNENs patients with MS (p = 0.043). PanNENs patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and who were female exhibited significantly higher leptin levels (p < 0.001 and p = 0.013, respectively). Additionally, this study reflects the importance of determining markers. Future research should focus on understanding the impact of metabolic disturbances on PanNENs and accounting for the relationship between PanNENs and MS, such as other malignancies.

Abstract
Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is frequently monitored to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence after surgery. The clinical significance of transiently increased CEA during adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly understood. Serum CEA, CA19-9, CRP, YKL-40, and IL-6 were measured before, during, and after adjuvant 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in the randomised LIPSYT study population. The biomarker kinetic patterns were classified into three groups: no increase, a transient increase (≥10% increase followed by a decrease), and a persistent increase during the adjuvant treatment, and the associations of these patterns with disease free-survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were investigated by using Cox regression analyses. The findings were validated in two single-centre cohorts that received modern adjuvant chemotherapy. A transient increase in CEA occurred in about a half of the patients during chemotherapy, in all the cohorts. The patients with a transient increase had a roughly similar DFS and OS to the patients with no increase, and a more favourable survival compared to the patients with a persistent increase. In the LIPSYT cohort, the hazard ratio was 0.21 for DFS (CI95% 0.07-0.66) and 0.24 for OS (CI95% 0.08-0.76). Transient increases in CA19-9 and YKL-40 tended to be associated with a favourable survival. A transient increase in CEA during adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with a favourable survival when compared with a persistent increase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor exhibiting a typical radiological pattern and most commonly located along the midline. Laboratory examination was always normal. However, the features of some rare cases are atypical that can be easily misdiagnosed as other tumors. OBSERVATIONS A 58-year-old patient presented with tinnitus, dizziness, blurred vision, and gait unsteadiness. Laboratory examination showed the serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were significantly increased (186 U/mL). A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a predominant hypodense lesion in the left frontotemporal region with a hyperdense mural nodule. The lesion appeared as an intracranial extradural mass with a mural nodule on the sagittal image, displaying mixed signal on T1- and T2-weighted imaging. A left frontotemporal craniotomy was performed for cyst resection. Histological results confirmed a diagnosis of dermoid cyst. No tumor recurrences were observed at the 9-month follow-up. LESSONS Extradural dermoid cyst with a mural nodule is extremely rare. When a hypodense lesion on CT shows mixed signal on T1- and T2-weighted imaging with a mural nodule, even if it is located in the extradural areas, it is important to consider a dermoid cyst. Serum CA19-9 combined with atypical imaging features may contribute to the diagnosis of dermoid cysts. Only recognition of atypical radiological features can avoid misdiagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The ideal duration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with curative intent is unclear. We sought to determine the prognostic significance of both duration of NACT and Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) normalization to NACT. METHODS We examined patients with resectable and borderline resectable PDAC treated with NACT and chemoradiation. Patients were compared by NACT duration (2 vs 4 months) and by CA19-9 normalization after NACT. RESULTS Among 171 patients, 83 (49%) received two months of NACT and 88 (51%) received four months. After NACT completion, 115 (67%) patients had persistently elevated CA19-9 and 56 (33%) had normalized. Of the 125 patients who had successful surgery, 73 (58%) had normalized CA19-9 postoperatively. Duration of NACT was not associated with overall survival (OS) while CA19-9 normalization after NACT (regardless of duration) was associated with improved OS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.35-0.89, p=0.02). Adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved OS among patients without CA19-9 normalization after NACT (HR 0.42, CI 0.20-0.86, p=0.02) but not among those that normalized, independent of duration. CONCLUSIONS CA19-9 normalization after NACT is a clinically significant endpoint of treatment; patients without CA19-9 normalization may benefit from additional therapy.

Abstract
A sandwich-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was constructed on a screen-printed electrode (SPE) using gold-coated tin selenide quantum dots (Au-SnSe QDs) to determine the carbohydrate antigen 19 9 (CA19-9). Water-soluble Au-SnSe QDs were prepared by coating low-cost SnSe QDs, prepared by reacting tin(II) 2-ethyl hexanoate with selenium ions (HNaSe) without needing to add an external capping agent (SnSe QDs). SnSe-based QDs were characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). DSP (dithio-bis (succinimidyl propionate)) as a linker was attached on Au@SnSe QDs and conjugated with CA19-9 monoclonal antibodies (Ab2-DSP-Au@SnSE QD). For capture probe assembling, an Au nano-layer was electrochemically deposited on a SPE by HAuCl4 reduction using 12 cycles of cyclic voltammetry (0 to - 1.4 V) at the scan rate of 50 mV s-1, then covered by self-assembly of DSP and covalent conjugation of CA19-9 Ab1. Our developed PEC immunosensor showed a significant photoelectrochemical response, recorded using chronoamperometry (0.3 V), for the presence of CA19-9 antigen in serum samples under light irradiation, with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.0011 U mL-1 and a dynamic range of 0.005-100 U mL-1. The recovery of CA19-9 determination from serum samples was 101 to 113%.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether frequent measurement of tumor markers triggers early detection of colorectal cancer recurrence. METHODS Of 1,651 consecutive patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery between 2010 and 2016, 1,050 were included. CEA and CA 19-9 were considered to be postoperative tumor markers and were measured every 3 months for 3 years, and then every 6 months for 2 years. Sensitivity analysis of elevated CEA and CA19-9 levels and multivariate analysis of factors associated with elevated CEA and CA19-9 levels were performed. The proportion of triggers for detecting recurrence was determined. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 5.3 years. After applying the exclusion criteria, 1,050 patients were analyzed, 176 (16.8%) of whom were found to have recurrence. After excluding patients with persistently elevated CEA and CA19-9 levels before and after surgery from the 176 patients, 71 (43.6%) of 163 patients had elevated CEA levels and 35 (20.2%) of 173 patients had elevated CA19-9 levels. Sensitivity/positive predictive values for elevated CEA and CA19-9 levels at recurrence were 43.6%/32.3% and 20.2%/32.4%, respectively. Lymph node metastasis was a factor associated with both elevated CEA and CA19-9 levels at recurrence. Of the 176 patients, computed tomography triggered the detection of recurrence in 137 (78%) and elevated tumor marker levels in 13 (7%); the diagnostic lead interval in the latter 13 patients was 1.7 months. CONCLUSION Tumor marker measurements in surveillance after radical colorectal cancer resection contribute little to early detection, and frequent measurements are unnecessary for stage I patients with low risk of recurrence.

Abstract
pNENs are relative indolent tumors with heterogeneous clinical presentation at diagnosis. It is important to establish aggressive subgroups of pNENs and identify potential therapeutic targets. Patients with pNEN (322 cases) were included to examine the association between glycosylation biomarkers and clinical/pathological traits. The molecular and metabolic features stratified by glycosylation status were assessed by RNA-seq/whole exome sequencing and immunohistochemistry. A considerable proportion of patients had elevated glycosylation biomarkers (carbohydrate antigen [CA] 19-9, 11.9%; CA125, 7.5%; carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], 12.8%). CA19-9 (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.26, P = .019), CA125 (HR = 3.79, P = .004) and CEA (HR = 3.16, P = .002) were each independent prognostic variables for overall survival. High glycosylation group, defined as pNENs with elevated level of circulating CA19-9, CA125 or CEA, accounted for 23.4% of all pNENs. High glycosylation (HR = 3.14, P = .001) was an independent prognostic variable for overall survival and correlated with G3 grade (P < .001), poor differentiation (P = .001), perineural invasion (P = .004) and distant metastasis (P < .001). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was enriched in high glycosylation pNENs using RNA-seq. EGFR was expressed in 21.2% of pNENs using immunohistochemistry and associated with poor overall survival (P = .020). A clinical trial focusing on EGFR expressed pNENs was initiated (NCT05316480). Thus, pNEN with aberrant glycosylation correlates with a dismal outcome and suggests potential therapeutic target of EGFR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is the most widely used biomarker for pancreatic cancer. Since CA19-9 closely correlates with patient outcome and tumor stage in pancreatic cancer, the deciphering of CA19-9 biosynthesis provides a potential clue for treatment. METHODS Concentration of amino acids was detected by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Metabolic flux of glutamine was examined by isotope tracing untargeted metabolomics. Label-free quantitative N-glycosylation proteomics was used to examine N-glycosylation alterations. RESULTS Among all amino acids, glutamine was higher in CA19-9-high pancreatic cancers (> 37 U/mL, 66 cases) than in CA19-9-normal clinical specimens (≤ 37 U/mL, 37 cases). The glutamine concentration in clinical specimens was positively correlated with liver metastasis or lymphovascular invasion. Glutamine blockade using diazooxonorleucine suppressed pancreatic cancer growth and intraperitoneal and lymphatic metastasis. Glutamine promotes O-GlcNAcylation, protein glycosylation, and CA19-9 biosynthesis through the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) levels correlated with the glutamine influx through hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and supported CA19-9 biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS Glutamine is a substrate for CA19-9 biosynthesis in pancreatic cancer. Glutamine blockade may be a potential therapeutic strategy for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent comorbidity in pancreatic cancer. Previous studies have mainly concentrated on the association between diabetes and pancreatic cancer outcomes. However, research on the impact of hyperglycemia on the prognosis of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer is limited. METHODS Information on patients with advanced pancreatic cancer was collected from a prospectively maintained database, and the patients were divided into the hyperglycemia group (fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L) and the normoglycemia group (fasting blood glucose < 7.0 mmol/L). Patients with preexisting diabetes were not included in these groups. The associations between hyperglycemia and clinical variables or prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS Among 697 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and no prior history of diabetes, 25.3% were diagnosed with hyperglycemia. Patients older than 65 years had a higher risk of developing hyperglycemia (P = 0.044). Patients with hyperglycemia had a worse prognosis than those with normoglycemia (median survival, 7.5 vs. 8.8 months, P < 0.001). Hyperglycemia was associated with increased mortality (hazard ratio = 1.38; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia predicts worse overall survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is difficult to diagnose because of its low incidence, uncertain risk factors, and the absence of effective markers. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of EAOC and identify useful serological markers. METHODS We retrospectively studied the clinical characteristics of patients with EAOC and ovarian endometriosis, obtained between January 1, 2011 and October 31, 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and EAOC. Receiver operating characteristic curves were applied to access the diagnostic value of serological markers in EAOC. RESULTS In total, the clinical characteristics of 220 patients were obtained; 44 with EAOC and 176 with ovarian endometriosis. EAOC patients were older (46.20 vs. 36.26 years, P < 0.001) and had larger tumors (9.10 vs. 6.73 cm, P = 0.003) together with higher CA19-9 (21.44 vs. 4.72 U/mL, P < 0.001) and HE4 levels (62.35 vs. 44.19 pmol/L, P < 0.001) when compared with ovarian endometriosis patients. Multivariate analysis showed that HE4 greater than 59.7 pmol/L, CA19-9 greater than 8.5 U/mL, age 42 years or older, and tumor length 9.2 cm or longer were independent risk factors for EAOC. Significantly, CA19-9 combined with HE4 had high sensitivity (72.73%) and specificity (78.41%) in diagnosing EAOC. CONCLUSION Age over 42 years, large ovarian tumor, serum CA19-9 and HE4 are valuable in the diagnosis of EAOC.

Abstract
Introduction The effect of liver margin on colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatectomy has been controversial. In this study, we conducted a postoperative follow-up study of 205 patients with CRLM to clarify whether a positive margin is significant and to define the risk factors affecting CRLM survival. Methods The data of 205 patients with CRLM who underwent surgical treatment at the Third Hospital of Peking University in the Department of General Surgery from January 2009 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The general data, surgical data and postoperative follow-up of the patients were statistically analyzed. Results There were 130 cases (63.4%) of R0 resection and 75 cases (36.6%) of R1 resection. There were 136 males and 69 females, age 61 ± 11 years, and body mass index (BMI 24.5 ± 3.3 kg/m2). The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years for the entire cohort were 93.4%, 68.4%, and 45.5% in the R0 resection group vs. 93.2%, 53.7%, and 42% in the R1 resection group, respectively, which were not statistically significant (P = 0.520). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free survival rates of 63.2%, 33.3%, and 29.7% were significantly better in the R0 resection group than in the R1 resection group of 47.9%, 22.7%, and 17.7% (P = 0.016), respectively. After multivariable analysis, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) > 39 U/ml (HR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.39-3.79, P = 0.001), primary tumor perineural invasion (HR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.01-3.13, P = 0.047), and BMI > 24 kg/m2 (HR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.05-2.93, P = 0.033) were independently associated with poorer overall patient survival. The number of liver metastases >2 (HR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.10-2.47, P = 0.016), the maximum diameter of metastases ≥50 mm (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.06-2.64, P = 0.026), and vascular invasion of the primary tumor (HR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.03-2.64, P = 0.038) were also independently associated with poorer disease-free survival. Conclusion In patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM, the negative effect of the R1 margin should be downplayed, and although the disease-free survival of the R1 margin is shorter than that of the R0 margin, it has no impact on overall survival. To improve overall survival, extra attention should be given to the factors of preoperative BMI, preoperative CA19-9, and the presence of perineural invasion of the primary tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antigenic determinant of CA19-9 is synthesized by the α1,3/4fucosyltransferase encoded by the Le gene in the Lewis blood group system. Accordingly, a diagnosis with CA19-9 is not appropriate forLe-negative patients who possess the Le gene-mutated le alleles homozygously. METHODS A Le gene-specific PCR was undertaken to determine c59T>G by using a set of tag-sense and biotin-labeled anti-sense primers and a peptide nucleic acid-le-clamp which bound to G59 in the le alleles. Following mixing with streptavidin-coatedbluelatex beads, the PCR products were developed on a strip on which the complementary tag oligonucleotide to theLe gene-specific amplicon was immobilized. RESULTS When the PCR products were developed on the strip, a clear line was rapidly observed in Le-positive but not in Le-negative individuals. In contrast, a significant number of cancer patients with Lewis-negative phenotype were found to possess CA19-9, while they were specifically genotyped asLe/-. No contradictory results were observed in cancer patients (n = 315) with respect to their Lewis genotypes and CA19-9 levels. CONCLUSIONS c59T>G occurred commonly in the le alleles could be specifically and rapidly identified by the present method. This method appeared to be relevant forselecting cancer patientsto bediagnosed with CA19-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) represents one of the current research hotspots in the field of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of NAC in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) followed by pancreatectomy with portal vein (PV) resection and reconstruction with venous allograft (VAG). METHODS Medical records of patients with BPRC who underwent pancreatectomy with concomitant PV resection and reconstruction with VAG between April 2013 and March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Outcomes of patients with and without NAC (NAC, Group 1 vs. non-NAC, Group 2) were compared with focus on R0 resection rates, morbidity, and survival. RESULTS Of the 77 patients with pancreatectomy, PV resection and reconstruction with VAG were identified. Overall survival (OS) rates of 0.5-, 1-, and 2-year were 80.5%, 59.7%, and 31.2%, respectively (median survival time, MST, 14 months). Of these, 24 patients (Group 1) underwent operation following received NAC, and the remaining 53 patients did not (Group 2). The R0 resection rate of vascular margin was 100% vs. 84.9% (p = 0.04), respectively. Morbidity of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) was 0% vs. 17.8% (p = 0.07), respectively. The OS of 0.5-, 1- and 2-year and MST of 2 groups were 83.3%, 66.7%, 41.7%, 16 months, and 79.2%, 55.6%, 26.4%, 13 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) serum level and postoperative chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors in patients with BRPC after surgery. CONCLUSION NAC might improve the R0 resection rate and POPF in patients with BRPC who underwent pancreatectomy with concomitant PV resection and reconstruction with VAG. Survival benefit exists in patients with BRPC who received NAC before pancreatectomy. Postoperative chemotherapy also had a favorable effect on OS of BRPC patients. Elevated CA 19-9 serum level is associated with poor prognosis, even after NAC-combining operation.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest tumours worldwide, and its poor prognosis is due to an inability to detect the disease at the early stages, thereby creating an urgent need to develop non-invasive biomarkers. P-element-induced wimpy testis (PIWI) proteins work together with piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) to perform epigenetic regulation and as such hold great potential as biomarkers for pancreatic cancer. PIWIL2 and PIWIL4 are associated with better prognosis, while PIWIL1 and PIWIL3 involvement appears to be associated with carcinogenesis. We aimed to discover PIWIL3- and PIWIL4-modulated piRNAs and determine their potential mechanisms in pancreatic cancer and the clinical implications. PIWIL3 or PIWIL4 was downregulated in pancreatic cancer-derived cell lines or in a non-tumour cell line. Differentially expressed piRNAs were analysed by next generation sequencing of small RNA. Nine fresh-frozen samples from solid human pancreases (three healthy pancreases, three intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, and three early-stage pancreatic cancers) were included in the sequencing analysis. Two piRNAs associated with PIWIL3 (piR-168112 and piR-162725) were identified in the neoplastic cells; in untransformed samples, we identified one piRNA associated with PIWIL4 (pir-366845). After validation in pancreatic cancer-derived cell lines and one untransformed pancreatic cell line, these piRNAs were evaluated in plasma samples from healthy donors (n = 27) or patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 45). Interestingly, piR-162725 expression identified pancreatic cancer patients versus healthy donors in liquid biopsies. Moreover, the potential of the serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) biomarker to identify pancreatic cancer patients was greatly enhanced when combined with piR-162725 detection. The enhanced diagnostic potential for the early detection of pancreatic cancer in liquid biopsies of these new small non-coding RNAs will likely improve the prognosis and management of this deadly cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To clarify clinical importance of serum CA19-9, CA-125, and plasma D-dimer (D-D) levels in detecting spontaneously ruptured ovarian endometriosis (OE). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined 173 patients with endometriosis out of 735 cases of OE between 2013 and 2019. Among these, 21 cases were diagnosed as "spontaneously ruptured" after surgery, while the remaining cases were unruptured. Venous blood was collected pre-operatively to detect CA19-9, CA-125, and D-D levels. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was applied to test clinical value of each marker. RESULTS Among the 21 patients with ruptured OE, 16 had a history of pelvic cysts, 19 claimed sudden onsets of lower abdominal pain, and fluid accumulation were detected in cul-de-sac in only six participants by ultrasound. For serological investigation, both CA19-9 and D-D were significantly elevated in the ruptured OE group (343.09 ± 367.67 U/ml vs. 36.84 ± 40.01 U/ml, 3.39 ± 4.90 mg/L vs. 0.43 ± 0.29 mg/L, both p < .0001). The area under curve (AUC) value for the combination of CA19-9 and D-D was 0.975 (95% CI, 0.939 - 0.993), with specificity of 96.69%, and sensitivity of 85.71%. The combination of CA-125, CA19-9 and D-D showed the highest AUC value that up to 0.976 (95% CI, 0.940-0.993), with sensitivity of 95.24%, and specificity of 87.50%. CONCLUSION The combination of CA19-9 and D-D can be chosen as an effective and economical indicators to identify patients with spontaneously ruptured OE in pre-operation assessment. However, from the perspective of differential diagnosis, the combination of CA-125, CA19-9 and D-D is the best choice. Key messagesTaking into account the economic effect, the combination of CA19-9 and D-D can be chosen as an effective indicators to identify patients with spontaneously ruptured OE in pre-operation assessment.From the perspective of differential diagnosis, the combination of CA-125, CA19-9 and D-D is the best choice to identify patients with spontaneously ruptured OE.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a kind of malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Its incidence rate is almost equal to the mortality rate, which shows an increasing trend, especially in recent years. At present, the radical cure of pancreatic cancer is mainly achieved by surgery, but the complex pathophysiology, the lack of early diagnosis and prognostic markers, and low surgical survival rate are the main obstacles to surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer. Serological markers are sensitive biological markers, and they have been used in recent years for the diagnosis and prediction of the prognosis of patients with postoperative pancreatic cancer. Therefore, serum markers are of vital importance in pancreatic cancer. This article summarizes various serological markers for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of pancreatic cancer to provide a theoretical reference for clinical workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancer (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy requiring efficient detection when the primary tumor is still resectable. We previously developed the MxPancreasScore comprising 9 analytes and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), achieving an accuracy of 90.6%. The necessity for 5 different analytical platforms and multiple analytical runs, however, hindered clinical applicability. We therefore aimed to develop a simpler single-analytical run, single-platform diagnostic signature. METHODS We evaluated 941 patients (PDAC, 356; chronic pancreatitis [CP], 304; nonpancreatic disease, 281) in 3 multicenter independent tests, and identification (ID) and validation cohort 1 (VD1) and 2 (VD2) were evaluated. Targeted quantitative plasma metabolite analysis was performed on a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry platform. A machine learning-aided algorithm identified an improved (i-Metabolic) and minimalistic metabolic (m-Metabolic) signatures, and compared them for performance. RESULTS The i-Metabolic Signature, (12 analytes plus CA19-9) distinguished PDAC from CP with area under the curve (95% confidence interval) of 97.2% (97.1%-97.3%), 93.5% (93.4%-93.7%), and 92.2% (92.1%-92.3%) in the ID, VD1, and VD2 cohorts, respectively. In the VD2 cohort, the m-Metabolic signature (4 analytes plus CA19-9) discriminated PDAC from CP with a sensitivity of 77.3% and specificity of 89.6%, with an overall accuracy of 82.4%. For the subset of 45 patients with PDAC with resectable stages IA-IIB tumors, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 73.2%, 89.6%, and 82.7%, respectively; for those with detectable CA19-9 >2 U/mL, 81.6%, 88.7%, and 84.5%, respectively; and for those with CA19-9 <37 U/mL, 39.7%, 94.1%, and 76.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The single-platform, single-run, m-Metabolic signature of just 4 metabolites used in combination with serum CA19-9 levels is an innovative accurate diagnostic tool for PDAC at the time of clinical presentation, warranting further large-scale evaluation.

Abstract
Background The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) varies considerably among patients with the same disease stage and characteristics, and only about two thirds show high levels of α-fetoprotein (AFP), a common prognostic indicator for HCC. Here, we assessed whether the combination of presurgical serum levels of AFP and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) can predict the prognosis of HCC patients after hepatectomy. Methods The clinicopathological characteristics and post-hepatectomy outcomes of 711 HCC patients were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified into three groups based on whether their preoperative serum levels of both AFP and CA19-9 were higher than the respective cut-offs of 400 ng/ml and 37 U/ml [double positive (DP)], the level of only one marker was higher than the cut-off [single positive (SP)], or neither level was higher than the cut-off [negative (N)]. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were estimated using Kaplan–Meier curves. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to identify the clinicopathological factors significantly associated with HCC prognosis. Results The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year RFS and OS rates in the N group were significantly higher than those in the SP group, while the DP group showed the lowest rates. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that large tumor size (> 5 cm), multiple tumors (≥ 2), incomplete tumor capsule, positive microvascular invasion, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer C stage, and CA19-9 level > 37 U/mL were independent risk factors for RFS and OS in HCC patients. Moreover, aspartate aminotransferase levels > 40 U/L proved to be an independent prognostic factor for OS. Conclusion The combination of serum AFP and CA19-9 levels may be a useful prognostic marker for HCC patients after hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evolutionary cancer has a supply mechanism to satisfy higher energy demands even in poor-nutrient conditions. Metabolic reprogramming is essential to supply sufficient energy. The relationship between metabolic reprogramming and the clinical course of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the differences in metabolic status among PDAC patients. METHODS We collected clinical data from 128 cases of resectable PDAC patients undergoing surgery. Sixty-three resected tissues, 15 tissues from the low carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), 38-100 U/mL, and high CA19-9, > 500 U/mL groups, and 33 non-tumor control parts, were subjected to tandem mass spectrometry workflow to systematically explore metabolic status. Clinical and proteomic data were compared on the most used PDAC biomarker, preoperative CA19-9 value. RESULTS Higher CA19-9 levels were clearly associated with higher early recurrence (p < 0.001), decreased RFS (p < 0.001), and decreased DSS (p = 0.025). From proteomic analysis, we discovered that cancer evolution-related as well as various metabolism-related pathways were more notable in the high group. Using resected tissue immunohistochemical staining, we learned that high CA19-9 PDAC demonstrated aerobic glycolysis enhancement, yet no decrease in protein synthesis. We found a heterogeneity of various metabolic processes, including carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, lipids, and nucleic acids, between the low and the high groups, suggesting differences in metabolic adaptive capacity. CONCLUSIONS Our study found metabolic adaptation differences among PDAC cases, pertaining to both cancer evolution and the prognosis. CA19-9 can help estimate the metabolic adaptive capacity of energy supply for PDAC evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serum diagnostic markers of early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are needed, especially for stage I disease. As tumors grow and cause pancreatic atrophy, markers derived from pancreatic parenchyma such as serum carboxypeptidase A (CPA) activity lose diagnostic performance. We evaluated, with CA19-9, serum CPA as a marker of early pancreatic cancer. METHODS Serum CPA activity levels were measured in 345 controls undergoing pancreatic surveillance, divided into 2 sets, set 1 being used to establish a reference range. Variants within the CPA1 locus were sought for their association with pancreatic CPA1 expression to determine if such variants associated with serum CPA levels. A total of 190 patients with resectable PDAC were evaluated. RESULTS Among controls, those having 1 or more minor alleles of CPA1 variants rs6955723 or rs2284682 had significantly higher serum CPA levels than did those without (P = .001). None of the PDAC cases with pancreatic atrophy had an elevated CPA. Among 122 PDAC cases without atrophy, defining serum CPA diagnostic cutoffs by a subject's CPA1 variants yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 18% at 99% specificity (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.7-26) (vs 11.1% sensitivity using a uniform diagnostic cutoff); combining CPA with variant-stratified CA19-9 yielded a sensitivity of 68.0% (95% CI, 59.0-76.2) vs 63.1% (95% CI, 53.9- 71.7) for CA19-9 alone; and among stage I PDAC cases, diagnostic sensitivity was 51.9% (95% CI, 31.9-71.3) vs 37.0% (95% CI, 19.4-57.6) for CA19-9 alone. In the validation control set, the variant-stratified diagnostic cutoff yielded a specificity of 98.2%. CONCLUSION Serum CPA activity has diagnostic utility before the emergence of pancreatic atrophy as a marker of localized PDAC, including stage I disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient tumor marker elevations caused by chemotherapy were defined as 'Flare' and have been demonstrated in some solid tumors. In clinical practice, we observed that some patients were accompanied by elevated tumor markers during treatment, but subsequent imaging proved that the treatment they received was effective. OBJECTIVES We aimed to study the Flare and the prognosis in advanced gastric cancer. DESIGN This is an observational retrospective study. A total of 167 patients were enrolled in this study. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and CA125 values were obtained before the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth cycles of treatment, respectively. METHODS Imaging for the first efficacy assessment was reviewed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria. Kaplan-Meier analyses and log-rank tests were performed for overall survival (OS) analyses. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to determine the prognostic factor for OS and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS 37.1% of patients were accompanied with at least one tumor marker Flare during the course of treatment. The median time to tumor marker peak was 24-30 days and the Flare duration lasted 49-53 days. Patients with tumor markers Flare had a worse OS. Flare may be associated with the use of 5-fluorouracil. Baseline CEA and CA125 levels were the independent prognostic factors for OS and baseline CA125 level was the independent prognostic factor for PFS. CONCLUSION Initial elevation of tumor markers during treatment is not an indication of tumor progression. Patients with tumor markers 'Flare' may had a worse OS.

Abstract
Objective Whether preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19–9 (CA19-9) is an independent prognostic factor and there are interactions of serum CA19-9 with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) on the risk of recurrence in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are still not clarified. Methods Consecutive patients with CRC who underwent curative resection for stage II-III colorectal adenocarcinoma at five hospitals were collected. Based on Cox models, associations of preoperative CA19-9 with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated in patients with or without elevated CEA, and interactions between CEA and CA19-9 were also calculated. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves were used to evaluate the associations between preoperative CA19-9 and CRC outcomes on a continuous scale. Results A total of 5048 patients (3029 [60.0%] men; median [interquartile range, IQR] age, 61.0 [51.0, 68.0] years; median [IQR] follow-up duration 46.8 [36.5–62.4] months) were included. The risk of recurrence increased with the elevated level of preoperative CA19-9, with the slope steeper in patients with normal CEA than those with elevated CEA. Worse RFS was observed for elevated preoperative CA19-9 (> 37 U/mL) (n = 738) versus normal preoperative CA19-9 (≤ 37 U/mL) (n = 4310) (3-year RFS rate: 59.4% versus 78.0%; unadjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 2.02; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.79 to 2.28), and significant interaction was found between CA19-9 and CEA (P for interaction = 0.001). Increased risk and interaction with CEA were also observed for OS. In the Cox multivariable analysis, elevated CA19-9 was associated with shorter RFS and OS regardless of preoperative CEA level, even after adjustment for other prognostic factors (HR: 2.08, 95% CI:1.75 to 2.47; HR: 2.25, 95% CI:1.80 to 2.81). Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses yielded largely similar results. These associations were maintained in patients with stage II disease (n = 2724). Conclusions Preoperative CA19-9 is an independent prognostic factor in CRC patients. Preoperative CA19-9 can be clinically used as a routine biomarker for CRC patients, especially with preoperative normal serum CEA.
